Bill Wittkopf, Public Works Services Director, and Dean Rodia, Parks and Landscape
Superintendent, presented the staff report.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Spagnolo, a timeline for the project was discussed. Mr. Wittkopf
anticipated that the work would start at one end of the street and move towards the other end. He

to do so.

removed and 305 Magnolia trees would be retained. Mr. Wittkopf did not recommend replacing
the trees that are removed. In response, Council Member Williams suggested that this be re-
evaluated, noting the visual appeal of trees on that street.
In response to Mayor Michael, Mr. Wittkopf confirmed that the median on Haven is being
recommended. The median on Base Line Road between Haven and Milliken will be monitored.
City Manager John Gillison noted that the recommended action includes the placement of
decomposed granite on the Foothill median. It was noted that this decomposed granite could be
easily replaced if needed.
